1. Do you believe that videos can lead to innovation in the classroom? Explain your answer. Absolutely! Not only are they engaging and interactive, but they also provide students with another modal to access information. This would be especially helpful for students who are visual learners. 2. How does Prezi, the tool that Chris Anderson uses in the video, differ from traditional presentation tools for the classroom?
Prezi allows the user a bit of autonomy Viewers can access the info they want and at the speed they want. Prezis also allow for different forms of digital media: video, still photos, text, etc.

Frame: Provide a context that helps students pay attention to the main content of the video. Ask students questions about the topic explored in the video to activate prior knowledge. When necessary, tell your students enough about the part of the story preceding the segment, so they can follow along.
Focus: Help students notice the important moments in the video by providing them with a specific focus, something to look for while they watch. Without a focus for viewing, students see all sorts of interesting details - but not necessarily the idea or information you want them to focus on.
Follow-up: Provide an opportunity for students to summarize what they saw - because they will see different things, and not always what you expected them to see! Re-telling what they saw helps students consolidate their understanding and remember it.
